You know who you are.

Get off League or whatever super competitive MOBA, FPS, fighting game and go play something you actually have fun playing.

Go play that RPG you've been putting off grinding rank just to get hard stuck because you're playing frustrated and playing worse every match.

Go play that shameless weeb anime game you know you have a ball playing despite how dumb it is.

Go play that comfy game that sparks joy.

Get the crew together for some party games.

Go have fun.

I say this once in a time to my friends but most don’t seem to understand or are lying to themselves

Stop playing online games just to progress a battlepass. If the game isn't fun enough to play without the carrot on the stick then you're wasting your own time.

No, I will suffer and play one game that I hate, but can’t stop

Yup! Avoiding addiction.
Not been a gamer for a very long time and this exactly is the kind of stuff I know people should avoid. Yet, everybody is doing it. Ugh.

A yes fun you say, after getting hit in the nuts in FTL I go to football manager get 4-0 and ended up playing CS2 and having 50/50 chance of winning lmao

Go play some F’ing Rimworld and commit some war crimes and crimes against humanity.

You know you want to.

i've been replaying RE4Remake on Hardcore and loving it

i enjoy getting my ass kicked

Anyone else ever played sakura wars. Low key looks hella good. Just very dating sim anime . 😁

I rarely touch competitive shooters/BRs anymore unless I am playing with friends. It's more about bullshitting on the mics these days and less about K/Ds and winning. Shit, I play a lot of PGA Road to the Masters just to shoot the shit and suck at golf just like I do in real life.

If I am not on a game with the boys then I am playing something I am truly enjoying.

But I want so desperately to be good at TF2. It is the only thing I have left. I have fucked up every other opportunity with my stupidity, and I can’t even blame it on a mental illness.

[–] ebk_errday@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Agree wholeheartedly with this. Played Apex Legends for about 3 years straight, it took them to ban me for my username to finally jump back into my backlog of games and man, I'm thankful. Gaming is so much more meaningful when there are new experiences, stories to uncover, and progress to be made. Playing Apex, there would be those nights when you're on an endless losing streak and I gotta tell ya, you leave feeling more hollow than a fetid rotting corpse in dark souls. Jumping into multiplayer games once in a while is nice, but to play it constantly like I did is not it.

I just recently booted up Final Fantasy IX again after years, had a sick day yesterday and got all the way to outer continent (disc 3?) One of my absolute favorite games. I'm loving every second of it.

[–] Turboblurb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I want to have fun playing multiplayer games, but I just can't get good. Feels like it's just a coin flip of matchmaking ending in stomp or be stomped. I think I'm chasing the nostalgia of playing with friends, but they all stopped playing.

If you aren't enjoying what you're doing, who is making you do it?

[–] sammenorr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You know what? I'm actually gonna end my toxic relationship with Destiny 2, thank you op

[–] Cuddlesthemighy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Beat Cocoon and Deathloop in the past couple weeks good times. Now I'm off to go toil away in the Warcraft mines and I'll come back out when Silksong releases.

[–] FancyTeaPartyGoose@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I picked up pizza tower on steam recently and holy fuck

talk about a game that’s 100% fun and 0% tedious

[–] Rynzller@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I used to play with a group of friends and I was ALWAYS stressed out. Thing is, I would compromise and play games they wanted to play, but when I suggested something else we could play, they always disregarded it and acted like I never said anything. Sometimes I would even buy them the games if it was cheap enough to get them to play, but nothing ever came out of it. Long story short, I cut ties with them and just play by myself now, but games I actually like, and it’s like I discovered gaming again. Moral of the story: find your fun, don’t look for it in someone else’s.

I love that you say to get off fps like some people enjoy those emensly like me

[–] MiyamotoKnows@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mario Wonder reset me on this topic. What a fun blast it was! I usually play horror or fps games. It reminded me games can be uplifting. I want to play the two Kirby Switch games next because of playing Wonder.

[–] Shizix@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Started replaying Kingdom Come Deliverance, so nice and peaceful at times.

[–] afgusto@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Uninstalled Valorant, uninstalled League. Always hovered around gold in both, especially now it is smurfs vs unstable people in that elo, also riot games way of handling ranks (lose 2, 3 games and you will start getting - 22 +16 lp) making the grind even more unbearable. Decided that after a decade of playing these games it was time to accept that it is truly pointless to play them and I don't have both hands and mental strenght to continue.

Bought Baldur's Gate and Cyberpunk - it truly reminded me that games can actually be fun.

[–] Drunkendx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just did that.

Played one game which was rarely fun but I "had to grind" to be able to play rare fun parts of it so I gave up and went to play game I actually find fun.

Only thing I regret is not quitting sooner.

[–] KidKonundrum@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lately I’ve been also needing to play something that’s fun and can be played in SHORT BURSTS!

Like don’t get me wrong I love Baldur’s Gate 3, but that game requires so much time that I just don’t have.

But preforming some smokin sexy style combos in Devil May Cry 5? Now that I can do.
